Muhammad in the Bible..?

Question

At the start of John's Gospel, John the Baptist is asked whether he is Elijah, he says no. Then he is asked if the is The Prophet (Deu 18:18 as referenced in Bibles), he says no. Then he is asked if he is the Christ, he says no.

My question is, who is this Prophet in Deu 18:18, that has not come yet at the time of John the Baptist, and who is different from Christ (Jesus pbuh)?

'"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet whom they find written in the Torah and the Gospel with them..' (Qur'an 7:157)

'"Neither did you (O Muhammad) read any book before it, nor did you write any book with your right [hand]. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted Nay, it is but clear signs in the breasts of those endowed with knowledge: and none but the unjust reject Our signs." (Qur'an 29:48-49)

Christians are funny, they say that the Bible wont mention Muhammad because he was born 570 years after Jesus. Yet they say the Old Testament talks of Jesus, thousands of years before his birth

Another Scripture that Muslims regard as a prophecy pertaining to Mohammed, is in the Gospel according to John 1:19:

"And this is a record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, 'Who art thou?' And he confessed and denied not, but confessed, 'I am not the Christ.' And they asked him, 'What then? Art thou Elias?' And he said, 'I am not.' 'Art thou that prophet?' And he answered, 'No.' Then they said unto him, 'Who art thou?' ... He said, 'I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.'"

Although Muslims decidedly reject any other part of the same chapter, which in no uncertain terms proclaims the divinity of Christ, they deem it fit to assume that "that prophet" or, as it actually says in the original "the prophet", was the expected Mohammed. Israel at that time was expecting a prophet, "the" prophet from God in the situation they lived in. He is the one announced in Deuteronomy 18:15ff:

"The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brethren - him you shall heed - just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, 'Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, or see this great fire any more, lest I die.' And the Lord said to me, 'They have rightly said all that they have spoken. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not give heed to my words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him." (Deuteronomy 18:15-19).

That this "prophet" is Jesus is clearly stated in Acts 3:17-23:

"And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old. Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren as he raised me up. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.'"

In the mind of the Jews, however, "the prophet" was not the Messiah:

"when they heard these words, some of the people said, 'This is really the prophet.' Others said, 'This is the Christ.'" (John 7:40)."

'Who do men say that the Son of man is?' And they said, 'Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' 'And who do you say that I am?' Simon Peter replied, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.'" (Matthew 16:13-16).

Apart from anything else, the Pharisees, being part of the Chosen People, could not expect any Gentile to be the prophet that was to come. (See Deuteronomy 18:15): "The Lord will raise for you a prophet ... from among you" i.e. the Jews)

Therefore the Prophet is, without a doubt, the Messiah. "

Seriously, after all the death and destruction followers of your religion have inflicted on the United States in the last 6 years, I can't believe you Muslims have the unmitigated gaul to try to convert us to your religion of terror.

Answer 2

While those passages, looked in that light, do suggest that Muhammad was prophecized in the Bible, do also know that it is stretching in more than one place. One big stretch is the "seed of Ishmael" becoming a great nation. I'm not saying that Ishmael's seed didn't become a great nation, but rather it doesn't mean that it forshadows Muhammed becoming a prophet. Also, I know that most Muslims believe that the Bible is flawed. Yet, sometimes they use passages from it to prove instances such as this one. Not that I'm being anti-Islamic, but rather it gets a little annoying. And it is somewhat of a double-standard.

Answer 3

One sign of a truly spiritual person as opposed to a religious person is that they do not like to boast about themselves. A true prophet or apostle does not need to go around telling everyone about his "position" because it will be evident on its own.

John was very humble and did not want to boast of himself as "Elijah" but said of himself in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one crying in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord' (John 1:23)NIV.

Jesus, however said about John, "For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come" (Matthew 11:13-15)NIV***These are the words of Jesus.

After the people saw the incredible miracles that Jesus did, they said,"Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world,"(John 6:14)NIV.

The Jewish people who understood the Scriptures about the Messiah, knew there were several different titles to be attributed to the Messiah-one being the Prophet like unto Moses.No one questions that Moses worked great miracles (parting of the Red Sea, turning a rod into a snake, bringing in the great plagues, etc.) and that Jesus worked even greater miracles (healing and performing miracles on thousands of people on different occasions, raising the dead, feeding thousands of people from just a few fish and loaves of bread, casting out demons,walking on top of the sea, stopping the storm, turning water into wine, etc.). Jesus fulfilled the Jewish Scriptures about him which is one reason you'll never find Christians
saying that the Jewish Scriptures aren't accurate.

Answer 4

Sorry you missed agaion. That is not Muhammad. Muhammad is NOT in the HOLY BIBLE

In Deuteronomy 18:18 (see also 18:15), the Lord says that this Prophet will be "like you [Moses]", and in verse 19 (see also 18:15), He says that the Prophet will speak "My words" and "in My Name". The only prophet of whom these things have ever been true is our Lord Jesus Christ (Lk.24:19; cf. Deut.34:10! - written before the incarnation; and Matt.21:11; Lk.7:16; 7:36-50; Jn.1:24-27; 6:14-15; 7:40-41). A prophet is both a fore-teller and a forth-teller of the Word of God (according to its Greek etymology confirmed by biblical usage), and there has been no greater Proclaimer of the word of God than the Word of God Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ (Jn.1:1-18; cf. Is.40:1-8). That Jesus is "the Prophet" Moses spoke of in these verses is made clear throughout the New Testament:

Answer 6

It was Muhammad mentioned there but they will never admit it.

Deu 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

When it say "from among their brethren" it is reffering to the other son of Abraham who was Ishmael- the brother of Isaac. Thus this 'Prophet' would be of the same bloodline and the sceptre of Moses was passed on to him from Bilaal.

Gen 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].

Muhammad was also the Shiloh.
Shiloh- he whose it is, that which belongs to him, tranquillity/ peace. The Arabic word for peace is Islam and this is what the Prophet taught.

Answer 8

As a Christian,I read my Bible often.You need to ask God for understanding of His Holy word.We are walking in the last days and soon to see the second coming of Jesus.
My prayer is for you to find this same Jesus who has died for our salvation.Risen that we might live also.So please as you read the Bible ask God to open your eyes to the truth.

Answer 9

The Jews of the time believe that the prophet Elijah would return before the coming of a messiah.

Answer 10

They say Paul can be a Prophet but Prophet Mohammed was a false one.

If these people can believe a guy named Paul can write a gospel and his words can be equal to the words of God ---- but they cannot believe that a Prophet from the Ishamaelites can be true Messenger, then they are misguided beyond imagination.

.

Answer 11

He is mentioned by name:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16:

"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem."

"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters
of Jerusalem."

In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present.
